    Default Choke to Primer Conversion Johnson 135 1973

    Has anybody ever converted from the choke system on any of these old johnsons to the primer system? I want a easier start and would want to know if this would bring it up to par. It starts fine but just not as quickly as I would like.

    Yep, no problem. Not hard at all and it will indeed help it start quicker.

    I don't want to steal your thread OpK but I have a related question for Dhadley. Can I exchange the intake manifold and related primer system parts from '82 140hp rude to my current '79 100hp rude? Chief Chief

    There's no kit and you really dont need to change manifolds. The primer goes where the choke solenoid is now. Then you decide if you want to inject gas in the by-pass covers or in the intake passages right behind the carb.
